I have a green face

The face paint hasn't come off yet. And worryingly, I don't remember applying it. I don't remember very much from last night.
Anyway, I've played a nice session to recover. There was a lot of dead money floating around. Not a lot of it was mine, I felt reasonably on top of my game. Here are a couple of hands of some importance.

I thought I'd be nice and balanced and show one hand where I got sucked out on by a nob and another where the same nob's idiocy worked to my favour. He mucked KsQd by the way.
I then found that I was down on only one table, but significantly so. I decided to cool down playing just that table and I managed to get it up from a low of $0.09 to $0.53 before leaving. This hand was a critical one in doing it.
